St. Valentine was imprisoned beheaded & buried on 14 Feb 269 AD for helping persecuted Christians & marrying Christian couples! While in prison he prayed for his jailer’s daughter & her blindness was healed. On the day of his execution he left her a note signed, ‘Your Valentine.’

Don’t despise the length of the valley season.
Perhaps we need a greater humility and hunger in our lives more than we could have possibly imagined AND could it be that we need to see and know just how desperately we need Jesus. #letheavencome
I’m not bothered protests happening in LA. Bothered that California has decided to silence the church for nearly half a year and celebrate Portland. Churches will start soon. Will lose many members calling us reckless but rebuild with newer, less consumer, more resilient people.
Don’t expect or demand from people what you can only get from God. If you do, you will live in constant disappointment and frustration. Often, it is God himself who will not allow them to give you what you think you need from them, so that you will go directly to him.
‘Whatever He (Jesus) says to you, Do It!’ What we’re simple words of instruction became the catalyst for a miracle (water into wine). It’s not the instruction alone that brought the miracle, but the DOING of the instruction that did. #LearningToObey#SecretsToLivingAbundantly
I am seeing God do things in my fifties that I prayed for in my twenties.
Never give up.
Our God is so very faithful.
Young people, stay the course. It gets better as we get older. Jesus is so worthy of our all.
It’s difficult to add value to people you secretly distain. Those who add value to others must first see value in other people. Paul, the apostle, said - ‘We will know no man after the flesh’! #RaiseTheRoof
